Ron,

We are now in possession of a beautiful motorhome.  We camped near Elkhart over the weekend to do a "shakedown", then went back to Elkart to have a few minor things fixed.  I can't say enough about how helpful, polite, frendly, and generally wonderful Kermit, Bob and Amanda were.  We got our PC fixed in a couple of hours and got on the road back to Ohio.  The PC is in the driveway now waiting for another camping trip this weekend.  The first for the cat.

Thanks for the tip about equalizing the black and grey tanks.  I've wondered why the grey tank was so small especially in relation to the black.  Equalizing the two tanks would certainly help with that.

To everyone,

Thank you all for your comments.  You've got a lot of experience and I appreciate the input.  We are upgrading from a trailer, so that may be why I thought you "had to " turn off the LP before traveling. 

We go to pick up the PC tomorrow.  In response to your question, we ordered the 2551 with the convenience package (don't know why anyone would not), the awning, slide out, power seat, leveling jacks, surround sound, backup camera, leather seats and sofa.  We added a few special things, like an additional fantastic fan, roof covers for all the fans, beefed- up hitch, reading lights over the beds, a place for the kitty litter box under the street side bed, small shelves at the end of each bed on the wardrobes, etc.  We didn't order the double windows.  Maybe we'll regret that decision.

We plan to do a lot of dry camping too.  I'm so glad to hear from folks who have this product and are so pleased.  This is a very large investment.  I want to have made the right decision with the Phoenix.  So far, so good.

Thanks,
Judy

All,

We are going to take delivery of our brand new PC 2551 next week.  It's very exciting, but I have lots of questions since this is the first motorhome.  How do you keep your refrigerator running (and your food cold) when you're driving down the road.  I've heard it is not safe to have the LP tanks "open" when driving.  If you don't use LP, what keeps it going?  Any thoughts are very welcome.

Thanks,
Judy
